The spec's come into play on CW but phone operators, no. Many who are mainly phone operators that I talked to that have operated or owned the Orion, Orion II & K-3's (And I own or have owned all three) with the superior spec's tend to gravitate back to the rig they are most comfortable operating. In many cases it comes down to ease of operation and in some cases pure looks.

Where did you get this info I wonder? do you have one? Well, we shall see when the reviews are published, apparently the RSGB review on the 7700 is due June. I think that the K3 will hard pressed to beat the 7700 in usability and performance! I've had one for several weeks now and am looking forward to the review in a few days time. 73 Rob G3RCE ---------------- _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
